33 <br /> Tom Altieri said that is still the intention to have such an agreement, and a first draft <br /> should be before the Board of County Commissioners within the next month or two. He said <br /> nothing will take place until this agreement is in place. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said when the agreement was negotiated with Hillsborough; some <br /> trades in acreage were also made. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs referenced some concerns in the Planning Board minutes in their <br /> packet, and staff addressed these concerns. <br /> Perdita Holtz said Michael Harvey, Planning, is working with the County Attorney's office <br /> on some of these issues, such as the table of permitted uses to address some judicial decisions <br /> that took place in the last year. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if this evening's proposed amendments are approved, will <br /> the aforementioned changes be put on hold. <br /> Perdita Holtz said technically the uses will be allowed, but practically it would be doubtful <br /> that they will be allowed. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if the Attorney had any input. <br /> James Bryan said from the legal perspective, the table of permitted uses is what it is; <br /> and if does not specifically prohibit something, then it is allowed. He said if the Board wants to <br /> clarify a specific issue, prior to staff attempting to clarify the bigger picture, the Board can do so. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs suggested removing the following uses: poultry processing <br /> leather and hide tanning and finishing, asphalt paving mixture and block manufacturing, <br /> explosives manufacturing, fertilizer manufacturing. He said it is unreasonable to leave them in, <br /> and if changes are being made to the uses, this is the time to remove them. He said he cannot <br /> vote on it, as he doesn't know the possibilities. <br /> Perdita Holtz said on the NAICS Code is on pages 319-359 of agenda packet. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs suggested that the uses he mentioned be removed from the uses <br /> for the EDD. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if is there a floodplain, and if so, how it affects the parcels. <br /> Perdita Holtz said there is a floodplain, the special flood hazard overlay district. She <br /> said the UDO does not allow development in the floodplain, and also requires a buffer. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if, within this floodplain, there is still going to be areas that <br /> unable to be developed, even though they will be rezoned. <br /> Perdita Holtz said yes. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said he will review these uses, and will get back to staff with a <br /> more formalized proposal. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if everything in those 45 pages is permissible. <br /> Perdita Holtz said she would have to compare the two tables. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said one option would be to defer this item to allow for more time <br /> and clarity. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said he would be comfortable with Commissioner Dorosin's <br /> suggestion, and asked staff to come back. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier shared Commissioner Jacobs' concerns. She said the list is so <br /> long to review, and determining what is onerous is a judgement issue. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier asked if staff could identify what about the UDO would end up <br /> excluding some of these uses, even though the uses may be permitted. <br /> Perdita Holtz said the performance standards that focus on things like pollution and <br /> noise. She said many of the items in Article 6. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier asked if the concerns from this rezoning would also apply to <br /> other EDD areas in the County. <br /> Perdita Holtz said only the Hillsborough EDD is governed by the NAICS Code. She said <br /> in the other EDDs the uses are listed in the permitted use table. <br />
